Wow! The 4d day 3 night Inca trail was one of the hardest things I’ve done but I wouldn’t trade it for anything❤️ my group consisted of 8 total (including my guide) Everyday I just felt so blessed to be able to even be at a place where there’s so much history, and beauty and mystery. I get why it’s called one of the 7th wanders of the world. The whole trail was probably my favorite part. A BIG shout out to the all the porters. They are the real hero’s and without them the trip would be impossible. I’m so grateful for them. The porters, the chef (Alandro) and my guide (Yovanni) were some of the hardest working men I’ve ever met. I feel very blessed to have been a part of their group. Everyone was amazing and I admire their hard work and dedication to making this experience unforgettable. The admission fee was priced very reasonable considered everything that was included (meals, tents, sleeping bags, portable toilet, snacks, etc)
View full reviewWe had a wonderful experience with our tour guide, Katia! She was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and caring throughout the entire tour. She explained everything in detail, answered all our questions, helped us with the arrangements, took great photos for us, and really went the extra mile to make our experience smooth and memorable. As a group of girls, we also really appreciated having a female guide. It made the experience feel even more comfortable and personal. We truly enjoyed our time with Katia and would highly recommend anyone visiting Machu Picchu!

View full reviewIt has been a wonderful experience—both from a sporting perspective, due to the physical challenge of the trek, and on a personal level, because of what we experienced and shared. Special mention goes to the team of porters and cooks for their tremendous effort and for making our stay so comfortable, as well as to the lead guide, José Abad, and the assistant guides, Alejandro and Lourdes, who led the group splendidly and helped us with every detail we needed. A 10 out of 10.
View full reviewThe trek is challenging, especially because of the elevation you have to climb to reach Salkantay. That said, it's well worth the effort. The scenery and the route are beautiful. I definitely recommend doing it.
View full reviewWe contacted this tour operator to combine two of their tours into one seamless, extended 8-day private trip for two, and the experience exceeded every expectation! From the original booking process to the end of our journey, our associate, Jazmin, communicated with us in excellent English via email and ensured every detail was taken care of. Her organization, responsiveness, and attention to detail made the entire process effortless. From the moment our trip began, we were treated like VIPs. We stayed in outstanding hotels, enjoyed wonderful restaurants, and had exceptional local guides who were knowledgeable, professional, and spoke both Spanish and excellent English. Every aspect of the trip was thoughtfully planned and executed. A special mention goes to Marco, who absolutely blew us away with his professionalism and remarkable ability to anticipate our needs before we even had to ask. His attention to detail, genuine care, and commitment to making our experience exceptional made a lasting impression on us. As a couple in our 60s, we especially appreciated the comfortable pace of the tour. Everything was tailored to our needs, every detail was handled, and whenever an unexpected issue arose, it was resolved quickly and efficiently. We always felt safe, comfortable, and well cared for. If you are looking for a safe, reliable, punctual, and truly all-inclusive tour operator to experience the best of Peru without the stress of managing all the logistics yourself, look no further. This company delivers an outstanding, personalized travel experience from beginning to end. Our highest praise and heartfelt thanks go to Jazmin and Marco for making our Peruvian adventure so memorable. We would recommend this tour operator without hesitation to anyone planning a trip to Peru! Book with them—you will be glad you did!

View full reviewCompletamos la caminata de Salkantay de 5 días y 4 noches. ¡Fue una experiencia maravillosa que recomiendo ampliamente! TreXperience organizó todo el tour de manera excepcional. Nuestros guías, Abelardo y Wilbert, fueron maravillosos y merecen un enorme agradecimiento. Durante la caminata, Abelardo compartió información fascinante sobre la formación de los Andes y su entorno natural. Habla con gran entusiasmo sobre la cultura e historia de los incas y Perú. ¡Escucharlo es un verdadero placer! Abelardo logra convertir a un grupo de viajeros desconocidos en un equipo cuyos miembros se apoyan mutuamente, se muestran considerados entre sí y comparten momentos divertidos y risas. Abelardo es un guía maravilloso al que le tomamos mucho cariño en muy poco tiempo. Cuida mucho de todo el grupo. Siempre está alegre, tiene un gran sentido del humor y constantemente les da a todos energía y fuerza renovadas para la exigente caminata a gran altitud. Durante el recorrido, el guía nos transporta al mundo incaico a través de pequeñas ceremonias, ayudándonos a apreciar la singularidad de estos momentos. A más de 4600 metros de altitud, ¡uno se siente profundamente agradecido por la oportunidad de vivir esta experiencia! Pero el grupo cuenta con más que dos guías. Dos jinetes y sus caballos transportan el equipaje a través de los pasos andinos. Un equipo de tres cocineros traslada el equipo de cocina y la comida por las montañas, deleitándonos con deliciosas comidas durante toda la caminata. Por ello, los cocineros merecen un reconocimiento especial. Mientras todos duermen en sus alojamientos, el equipo prepara un desayuno fantástico y nos despierta con té de coca caliente. Cada mañana y cada noche, se proporciona un recipiente con agua tibia para que cada participante se lave. Antes de partir, todos reciben un refrigerio para el día. Al llegar a los 4600 metros como el primer grupo, el equipo ya nos espera con té caliente y un panecillo. Un poco más tarde, almorzamos, seguido de una abundante cena por la noche. En cada comida, uno se pregunta cómo lograron preparar tantos platillos deliciosos tan rápido. Realmente aprecias lo buena que es su cocina cuando visitas un restaurante en la ciudad. ¡Para entonces, ya deseas volver a probar la comida de Barbin! En una ocasión, el equipo cocinó para nosotros al estilo tradicional peruano. Calentaron grandes piedras al fuego y luego las colocaron en un hoyo profundo. Diferentes variedades de papas, verduras, carne y fruta se envolvieron cuidadosamente y se colocaron sobre las piedras, se cubrieron con sacos de arpillera y hojas de palma, y luego se enterraron. Mientras se cocinaba nuestro almuerzo, tostamos granos de café y preparamos nuestro propio café. Otro momento memorable fue pasar la noche con vista a Machu Picchu. Disfrutamos del atardecer desde fuera de nuestras tiendas de campaña y vimos el amanecer a la mañana siguiente. En el desayuno, el equipo de cocina incluso nos sorprendió con un pastel de chocolate recién horneado. ¡Yo no podría hornear un pastel así ni en mi propia cocina a nivel del mar! Luego llegó la caminata final a Aguas Calientes. En el camino, nadamos en un río: un chapuzón maravillosamente refrescante en un entorno precioso. Al día siguiente, visitamos Machu Picchu juntos. Todo estuvo perfectamente organizado durante el viaje. ¡Lo repetiríamos sin dudarlo y recomendamos encarecidamente esta caminata con Abelardo y su equipo! Las noches en los Andes fueron maravillosas. Después, acostados en la cama del hotel, ¡enseguida deseamos estar de vuelta en los colchones duros de las sencillas cabañas y tiendas de campaña en las montañas! ¡Muchísimas gracias a Abelardo, Wilbert, Balbino, Eziquiel y a todo el equipo por esta increíble caminata! ¡Tupanantiskama!

Exceptional Andean hospitality, shaped by people who know the trail from every side.
TreXperience is a 100% Peruvian tour operator based in Cusco. Our co-founder, Juan Coronel, walked the Inca Trail first as a porter, then as a trekking chef, then as a guide. That is where our standard comes from: a great trek is not one big thing done well, but a hundred small things you never have to think about.
The six pillars below are how we keep that promise, from your first message to the journey home.
The Andes provide the adventure. The TreXperience Way takes care of everything around it.

An unforgettable experience with Peppe and Rene! Walking the Inca Trail with TreXperience was an incredible adventure, made even more special by our amazing guides, Peppe and Rene. Peppe, a former park ranger, seems to know absolutely everything about the history, nature, culture, and hidden secrets of the Inca Trail. His knowledge and passion brought the entire journey to life. And then there was Rene, our motivator! Always encouraging us to take that next step, especially when our legs were telling us otherwise. His positive energy, enthusiasm, and support made all the difference. But above all, this was about something much bigger than completing the Inca Trail. It was about sharing an extraordinary adventure as father and daughter, overcoming challenges together, and creating memories that will last a lifetime. One of the most beautiful experiences a father and daughter can share. Thank you, Peppe, Rene, and TreXperience, for making this journey so unforgettable! John & Joëlle — The Netherlands
